Installing a Controller
Follow these steps to install a controller:
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the operational controller’s
maintenance port. The controller to which you’re connected
is “this controller”; the controller that you’re installing is the
“other controller.”
2. Start FRUTIL with the following command:
RUN FRUTIL
FRUTIL displays the following:
Do you intend to replace this controller’s cache
battery? Y/N
3. Enter N(o). FRUTIL displays the FRUTIL Main menu:
FRUTIL Main Menu:
1. Replace or remove a controller or cache module
2. Install a controller or cache module
3. Replace a PVA module
4. Replace an I/O module
5. Exit
Enter choice: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 ->
4. Enter option 2, Install a controller or cache module, from the
FRUTIL Main menu. FRUTIL displays the Install Options

Install Options:
1. Other controller and cache module
2. Other controller module
3. Other cache module
4. Exit
Enter choice: 1, 2, 3, or 4 ->
5. Enter option 2, Other controller module, from the Install
Options menu. FRUTIL displays the following:
Insert the slot A [
or B
] controller? Y/N
6. Enter Y(es) and press return. FRUTIL displays the
following:
Quiescing all device ports. Please wait...
Device Port 1 quiesced.
Device Port 2 quiesced.
Device Port 3 quiesced.
Device Port 4 quiesced.
Device Port 5 quiesced.
Device Port 6 quiesced.
All device ports quiesced.

.
Insert the controller module, without its program
card, in slot A [or B] within x minutes, xx seconds.
NOTE: A countdown timerallows atotal oftwo minutes toinstall
the controller. If you exceed two minutes, “this controller” will
exit FRUTIL and resume operations.
CAUTION: ESD can easily damage a controller. Wear a snug-
fitting, grounded ESD wrist strap on your wrist.
Make sure you align the controller in the appropriate guide rails.
If you do not align the controller correctly, damage to the
backplane may occur.
7. Ensure that the program card is in the replacement controller
and insert the new controller into its slot. Engage its
retaining levers. When fully seated, the newly installed
controller will boot.
FRUTIL displays the following:
If the other controller did not restart, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the other controller’s reset
button.
2. Insert the other controller’s program card.
3. Release the reset button.
Press return to continue.
8. Connect the host bus cables to the new controller [HSG80],
or connect the trilink connectors with host bus cables (or
terminators) to the new controller [HSZ80].
NOTE: One or two host bus cables [HSG80] or one or two trilink
connectors with host bus cables (or terminators) [HSZ80] may
be attached, depending on the configuration.
9. Press return to continue. FRUTIL will exit. If the other
controller did not restart, follow these steps:
a. Press and hold the other controller’s reset button.
b. Insert the other controller’s program card.
c. Release the reset button.
10. See either the HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.3
Configuration and CLI Reference Guide or the HSZ80 Array
Controller ACS Version 8.2 Configuration and CLI
Reference Guide to configure the controller.
NOTE: If the controlleryou’re installing was previously used in
another subsystem, purge its old configuration. See
“CONFIGURATION RESET” inthe appropriate
HSG80 Array
Controller ACS Version 8.3 Configuration and CLI Reference
Guide
or the
HSZ80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.3
Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
.
11. Enable failover, and re-establish the dual-redundant
controller configuration with the following command:
SET FAILOVER COPY=THIS_CONTROLLER
This command copies the subsystem’s configuration from
“this controller” to the new controller.
12. Disconnect the PC or terminal from the controller’s
maintenance port.
